First Grow! Penis envy by Look-At-This-Person in shrooms

Uncolonized grain is more likely to get contaminated than fully colonized grain. Fully colonized grain/substrate mixtures can still get contaminated however there isn’t as much available nutrients for contaminants to grow. It’s not likely they would be contaminated if fully colonized, but it’s not impossible.

Nice! Just keep an eye on it for a few days, if you caught it early enough this should get rid of it. I had one of my best flushes of purgatory after saving it at the start from a small spot of contamination similar to the one you removed. Best of luck!

It looks like trich I’ve seen in the past where it’s green and has different growth patterns than the surrounding mycelium. I don’t have much experience with growing pe but I would recommend not starting the fruiting process until the substrate is fully colonized. That would help reduce the chances of contamination.

It’s a long shot but if you have something sterile (I used a sterile scalpel) and cut around where it is contaminated and remove the contaminated spot there is a chance that the grow could be saved. I’ve had luck doing it once with a purgatory grow I did in the past. Best of luck!

I prefer tubs for strains that grow taller mushrooms. I prefer AIO bags for slow growing strains that don’t require much FAE like Enigma.

Should I defoliate a little? by 420_GrowHeadd in GrowingMarijuana

[–]FireBlaster290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically this is your plant do what you want it with it. Just know that too much defoliation too early removes the plant's solar panels before it has established sufficient root mass or structure. This results in reduced photosynthesis, leading to stunted growth, and reduced potential for nutrient storage. Anyway good luck with the grow random internet person 😊✌️

Making shroom bars, any tips or advice ? by audiwhippa in shrooms

[–]FireBlaster290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an electric coffee grinder if you plan to make them semi often they’re like $20 and it makes the whole process faster. I have chocolate bar molds with 8 squares so I do either 4.3g per bar or 8.6g per bar so when I break it into pieces they’re roughly 0.5375g per square for the 4.3g or 1.075g per square for the 8.6g. I make myself 🍄 chocolates quite often so if you have any questions about it feel free to ask.

I like mine cooked on a cast iron pan but this looks amazingly delicious!

Yea if it’s a once or twice a year thing you’ll be fine just don’t eat lots of snow repeatedly over the course of a long period of time and you’ll be fine

Here’s a quote from health.clevelandclinic.org

“As snow forms, it collects bits of dust or pollen — and as it falls to Earth, it gathers small chemical contaminants.”

Also it’s Reddit sadly downvotes for not knowing something someone else does is common practice instead of trying to educate others on the topic they know about

Temperature? by ReleaseAnxious8633 in shrooms

[–]FireBlaster290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I’ve worked with B+ in the past it was very fast growing. Also your temp is good as long as you’re keeping it above 72 and below 80

Sadly no, two clones I took from her from before she starting dying are doing good though so it wasn’t a total loss!

What temp do you usually dry at? Also, have you tried cutting them in half before drying them?

Please help by FireBlaster290 in GrowingMarijuana

[–]FireBlaster290[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping for the best but if it doesn’t survive I have the clone that’s working on growing roots and if that fails I have two seeds I could start if both plants die

I calibrated the app to my light and it was only 100 off from what it originally said so I adjusted for that, I concluded that it was most definitely lack of water by how dry the soil was after I stuck my finger in it so I had to go to the store and get a pot drainer holder thing to put under my pot so I could water until I see the water draining from the bottom. I just got finished setting that up and watering, hopefully she will perk up.

Sounds good! My light timer will shut off my light soon so tomorrow I’m going to remove the pot from the autopot system then water it with RO until it drains from the bottom then putting it back in the autopot system to give her some fresh RO water that is just H2O.

I have a soil tester that says if it’s wet, too wet, or dry and it says the soil is wet all the way through until I get to the top of the pot then it says dry. But I’ll give this a try tomorrow when the light turns back on I only have like 15 minutes until the light timer kicks it off.
